Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/816,960, filed Apr. 29, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Technical Field
- This invention relates generally to sterile surgical drapes, and more particularly to sterile surgical drapes for craniotomy procedures.
- 2. Related Art
- It is well known that maintaining a sterile environment within the region of a surgical site is critical in order to minimize the risk of infection to a patient. This generally requires maintaining sterility above the elevation of a patient support surface of an operating table. This is particularly important in brain surgery or any craniotomy procedure requiring forming a surgical opening into a patient's skull. A craniotomy procedure involves cutting an opening in the skull of the patient, and then performing the surgical procedure inside the skull of the patient, e.g. removing a tumor, removing a blood clot (hematoma), controlling a hemorrhage from a weak, leaking blood vessel (cerebral aneurysm), repairing arteriovenous malformations (abnormal connections of blood vessels), draining a brain abscess, relieving pressure inside the skull, performing a biopsy, or otherwise inspecting the brain.
- Prior to initiating the surgical procedure, the patient is placed on a support surface of an operating table and the head of the patient is located and fixed within a head clamp to prevent the patient's head from moving during the surgery. The head clamp, in addition to fixing the patient's head from movement, is commonly operably attached to a neuronavigation receiver, also commonly referred to as “navigator tracker.” Neuronavigation is sometimes referred to as image guided surgery (IGS), computer assisted surgery (CAS) and stereotactic navigation. The navigator tracker is fixed to a stabilizer arm, which in turn, is typically attached to the head clamp for selective adjustment therewith. As such, with the patient's head fixed in the clamp, the navigator tracker can be precisely adjusted and calibrated and then fixed in the desired position, thereby acting as a fixed datum to allow the surgeon to know the precise location of his/her instruments within the patient's skull. As the surgeon moves an instrument within the brain, the position of the instrument, with the assistance of the fixed navigator tracker, is precisely calculated by a computer. The computer then superimposes the position of the instruments as they are manipulated in surgery onto images of the brain anatomy displayed on a monitor, which in turn, allows the surgeon to see the precise, real-time positioning of the instruments in three dimensions. This, in essence, is a real-time global positioning system (GPS) for the surgeon.
- In order to perform neuronavigation, the navigator tracker must remain in its intended position “as calibrated and fixed.” Maintaining the navigator tracker in its calibrated and fixed position can be inadvertently compromised after initially fixing the navigator tracker in its desired position. Inadvertent movement of the navigator tracker generally results from the current and generally complex process used to drape the stabilizer arm of the navigator tracker as well as the patient. Should the navigator tracker become inadvertently moved from its originally fixed location, the imagery obtain via assistance from the navigator tracker will be inaccurate, thereby complicating the surgical procedure. The current process followed in performing a craniotomy includes: fixing the patient's head in the clamp; draping the patient with a sterile drape and cutting a hole in the drape to fit over the stabilizer arm; attaching a non-sterile navigator stabilizer arm and navigator tracker to the head clamp; positioning, calibrating and fixing the navigator tracker in the desired location; removing the navigator tracker from the non-sterile stabilizer arm; draping the non-sterile stabilizer arm with a sterile sock-shaped drape; draping the patient with a sterile patient drape; cutting a hole in the patient drape and pressing the patient drape over the draped stabilizer arm; wrapping a sterile cloth around the draped stabilizer arm at the opening cut in the patient drape; and attaching a sterile navigator tracker to the draped stabilizer arm, wherein the sterile navigator tracker is intended to remain in precisely the same position as the navigator tracker as originally calibrated and fixed. During this tedious draping process, there are numerous opportunities to inadvertently introduce bacteria to the desired sterile arena, such as through the hole cut in the patient drape, and to move the navigator tracker from its originally calibrated and fixed position, particularly when positioning the patient drape over the stabilizer arm and wrapping a sterile cloth about the opening, as well as while reattaching the sterile navigator tracker to the stabilizer arm, for example.
- In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a sterile craniotomy drape is provided. The sterile drape includes a flexible, sterile wall with opposite edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends, wherein the wall is sized to substantially cover a patient lying on a patient support surface of an operating table. The wall has a cranial region adapted to be attached to the patients head and at least one opening adjacent the cranial region. A flexible, tubular sterile sleeve has an open end attached to the wall about the at least one opening. The sleeve extends away from the wall to a free end.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the free end of the sleeve is closed.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the free end of the sleeve is optically transparent.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the wall has a pair of the at least one openings, each of the openings being on opposite sides of the cranial portion, wherein a separate sleeve is attached about each opening and extends outwardly from the wall.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the sleeve is folded telescopically and unfolds telescopically.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the sleeve has at least one fastener adapted to maintain material of the sleeve in a circumferentially gathered configuration.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method of simultaneously draping a sterile barrier over a patient and a navigation tracker for a craniotomy procedure is provided. The method includes providing a sterile patient drape having a sterile tubular sleeve extending outwardly therefrom. Then, registering the tubular sleeve with the navigation tracker and covering the patient with the patient drape. Further yet, unfolding the tubular sleeve over the navigator tracker.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the method can further include gathering material of the tubular sleeve about a stabilizer arm supporting the navigation tracker and releasably fixing the material in its gathered configuration with a fastener.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the method can further include providing the fastener used to gather the sleeve material as an attached member extending from the sleeve.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the method can further include attaching an open end of the tubular sleeve in sealed relation about an opening in the patient drape.
- These and other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily appreciated when considered in connection with the following detailed description of presently preferred embodiments and best mode, appended claims and accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a sterile patient drape constructed in accordance with one aspect of the invention; -
FIG. 1A is a plan view of a sterile patient drape constructed in accordance with another aspect of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the sterile patient drapes ofFIGS. 1 and 1A ; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a patient on the operating table prior to disposing the patient drape over the patient; and -
FIG. 4 is a view similar toFIG. 3 with the patient drape ofFIG. 1 disposed over the patient. - Referring in more detail to the drawings,
FIG. 1 illustrates a sterile craniotomy drape, also referred to as patient drape ordrape 10, constructed in accordance with one presently preferred embodiment of the invention. Thedrape 10 has a flexible,sterile wall 12 withopposite sides opposite ends wall 12 is sized to cover or substantially cover a patient P (FIGS. 3 and 4 ), and includes a centralmain body portion 17 andopposite side regions 19, wherein themain body portion 17 can be constructed from a different material than theside regions 19, if desired. Otherwise, it should be recognized the centralmain body portion 17 and theside regions 19 could be constructed as a single, monolithic piece of the same material. By way of example and without limitation, themain body portion 17 can be constructed from a spun bond nonwoven material, while thesides regions 19 can be constructed from a thin sheet polymeric material, wherein the separate materials can be fixed to one another via any suitable bond mechanism, including a heat bonded or adhesive bonded joint, for example. Thewall 12 has acranial region 22 adapted to be releasably attached to the top region of the patient's head. Further, thewall 12 has at least one opening, and shown as a pair of opening 24, 26 located on opposite sides of acentral axis 27 that bisects thecranial region 22, wherein thecentral axis 27 is generally parallel to theopposite sides openings cranial region 22. Accordingly, theopenings cranial region 22. Otherwise, as shown inFIG. 1A , wherein adrape 10′ is shown constructed in accordance with another aspect of the invention, with the same reference numerals used as above, offset with a prime symbol to identify like features, thewall 12′ can have a single, generally centrally located opening 24′ formed along thecentral axis 27′ adjacent thecranial region 22′ between thecranial region 22′ and theend 20′. A flexible, tubular sterile sleeve 28 (FIG. 1 ), 28′ (FIG. 1A ) is attached to thewall opening FIG. 2 ) of eachsleeve respective opening wall openings sleeves sleeves wall free end 31. - Discussion going forward is directed to the
drape 10 ofFIG. 1 , unless otherwise stated, though it is to be understood that the same features are present in thedrape 10′. Thedrape 10 is used in brain surgery procedures, such as craniotomy procedures, wherein thesleeve 28 of thedrape 10 needs to accommodate, by receiving therein, at least a portion of an imaging system, and in particular, as shown inFIG. 3 , astabilizer arm 32 andnavigator tracker 34. With the patient P positioned on a patient support surface of the operating table, thestabilizer arm 32 is operably and adjustably attached to ahead clamp 36 that has been previously fixed to the patient's head. In addition, thenavigator tracker 34 is operably fixed to an end of thestabilizer arm 32. In use, with the navigator tracker attached to thestabilizer arm 32, thestabilizer arm 32 is adjusted in 3-D space about 3-axes to move thenavigator tracker 34 into a precise position to image the precise location of the patient's brain. Once thenavigator tracker 34 is located in the precise position, thestabilizer arm 32 is fixed against movement, thereby fixing the location of thenavigator tracker 34 in its desired position. Accordingly, thenavigator tracker 34 is fixed relative to the patient's head in a precise location that must be maintained throughout the surgical procedure in order for the surgeon to reliably see the precise location of the surgical instruments within the patient's cranium during the procedure. - With the patient P on the operating table and head fixed in the
clamp 36, and with thenavigator tracker 34 fixed in its desired position, the one-piece, impervious and imperforate drape 10 (meaning that the drape, with thesleeves 28 sealingly attached thereto is imperforate) can be disposed over the patient P to provide an upwardly facingsterile surface 38 over the entirety of the patient P and over the entire assembly of thestabilizer arm 32;navigator tracker 34, and clamp 36. As such, the region above an upperpatient support surface 40 of the operating table is kept sterile, thereby facilitating the avoidance of causing infection to the patient P during the surgery. - While disposing the
drape 10 over the patient P, thecranial region 22, which is fabricated of a transparent thin film, is attached to an upper surface or crown of the patient's head, such as via a self-adhesive surface on the underside of thecranial region 22. A release paper can be applied to the self-adhesive surface and then selectively removed therefrom to expose the self-adhesive surface for attachment to the patient's head. Then, thedrape 10 can be unfolded along the patient's body and along the full length of the operating table to cover the entirety of the patient P and operating table, wherein the opposite ends 18, 20 of thedrape 10 preferably hang over the opposite ends of the operating table and theopposite side regions 19 preferably hang over the opposite sides of the operating table. As thedrape 10 is being unfolded, the respective opening(s) 24, 26, 24′ and associatedsleeve navigator tracker 34 and thestabilizer arm 32. Depending on which side of the patient's head thestabilizer arm 32 is located will determine which of theopenings navigator tracker 34, and accordingly, thedrape 10 is able to be used in procedures requiring thestabilizer arm 32 to fixed on either side of the patient's head. Thesleeve 28 is preferably initially folded in telescopic fashion prior to use, and thus, upon registering thesleeve 28 with thenavigator tracker 34 and thestabilizer arm 32, thedrape 10 can be pressed downwardly over and about thenavigator tracker 34 and thestabilizer arm 32, thereby causing thesleeve 28 to automatically unfold in telescopic fashion about thenavigator tracker 34 and thestabilizer arm 32. - Upon unfolding the
sleeve 28, as shown inFIG. 4 , the optically clearfree end 31 is brought into a snug fit about thenavigator tracker 34, and thus, the navigator tracker functions as intended through the optically clearfree end 31 without having to puncture thesleeve 28. It should be recognized that theentire sleeve 28 is preferably provided as a monolithic piece of tubular, optically transparent material, such as polyethylene, by way of example and without limitation, though it is contemplated that the lower body of thesleeve 28 could be formed from other than optically transparent or clear material, with only thefree end 31 being formed from the optically transparent material to allow thenavigator tracker 34 to function as intended. Upon unfolding thesleeve 28 about thestabilizer arm 32 andnavigator tracker 34, sterility is maintained and assured above theupper surface 40 of the operating table. To assist in circumferentially gathering any excess, loose or otherwise baggy material of thesleeve 28, thereby keeping the material of thesleeve 28 from interfering with the surgical team or becoming inadvertently snagged, one or moreelongate gathering members 42 can be wrapped about thesleeve 28 and fastened, such as via hook and loop (Velcro) straps, tie wraps, strings, or a self-adhesive 41 that is selectively uncovered via removal of a release paper, by way of example and without limitation. The gatheringmembers 42 are spaced from one another axially along the length of thesleeve 28 from the base of thesleeve 28 adjacent theopening free end 31, as desired, to provide a suitable number of locations at which to gather the excess material of thesleeve 28. As best shown inFIG. 2 , the gatheringmembers 42 extend between opposite first and second ends 45, 47, wherein thefirst end 45 is fixed to thesleeve 28 and thesecond end 47 is a free end that can be releasably attached to the sleeve viatear tabs 43, wherein thetear tabs 43 can be perforated to facilitate tearing thetabs 43, as desired, to allow the gatheringmember 42 to be extended from thesleeve 28 and freely wrapped circumferentially about thestabilizer arm 32. Upon wrapping the elongate body of the gatheringmember 42 about thestabilizer arm 32 and causing the loose, baggy material of thesleeve 28 to be circumferentially gathered, the self-adhesive 41 can be exposed and adhered to the wall of thesleeve 28 or to the elongate body of the gatheringmember 42 itself to constrict thesleeve 28 in a conforming fit about thestabilizer arm 32. As such, the presence of thesleeve 28 about thestabilizer arm 32 does not interfere with the surgical team during the surgical procedure. - In addition to the
sleeve 28, thedrape 10 can be provided with afluid capture extension 44 adjacent thecranial region 22. Thefluid capture extension 44 is funnel-shaped and extends from an enlargedopen end 46 to a reduced sizeclosed end 48. To facilitate removal of the fluid drained into thefluid capture extension 44, a valve fitting 50 can be provided near the base of theclosed end 48 for attachment to a suction hose. To facilitate keeping theopen end 46 in a desired open hoop shape, aformable member 52, such as a wire, tape or foil, for example, can be laid into or other fixed adjacent theopen end 46. As such, theopen end 46 can be conformed, as desired, to maintain the desired shape. Further, thefluid capture extension 44 can be provided with anupper catch surface 53, such as a porous cloth, wherein thecatch surface 53 extends across the full opening adjacent theopen end 46 to catch non-fluid matter, e.g. surgical instruments, from falling to theclosed end 48 of thefluid capture extension 44. As such, if the surgeon accidentally drops an instrument, the instrument will be readily caught by thecatch surface 53, whereupon the instrument can be readily retrieved. - In addition, the
drape 10 can be provided with a plurality offasteners 54, such as self-adhesive strips or hook and loop fasters (Velcro), adjacent thecranial region 22. Thefasteners 54 can include astrap 56 with one of the hook or loop, while the upper surface of thedrape 10 can have afastener pad 57 including the other of the hook or loop. In use, thestrap 56 can be detached from the upper surface of thedrape 10, and a tube or line can be run between thestrap 56 and the upper surface of the drape, whereupon thestrap 56 can be pressed over the tube or line and releasably fastened to theupper surface 57 of thedrape 10. As such, a plurality of tubes or lines can be organized and releasably fixed in place during the surgical procedure to keep the tubes or lines from interfering with the procedure. Accordingly, thedrape 10 provides a plurality of functional elements that facilitate maintaining sterility in the surgical arena, while also facilitating the organization of various lines used in the surgical procedure. Further yet, as shown inFIG. 4 , thedrape 10 is provided with one ormore pockets 58 that can be selectively adhered to the outer surface of thedrape 10, such as near thecranial end 18, wherein thepockets 58 provide ready storage pouches for surgical instruments and the like. Thepockets 58 can be readily affixed to the outer surface via one or more self-adhesive strips 60 upon removing a release paper therefrom. As such, further functionality can be provided by thedrape 10. - Many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described, and that the scope of the invention is defined by any ultimately allowed claims.
